Gingerbread Houses & Cone-heads!

Kelti and her friend, Brittany, made a great gingerbread house...from scratch. They entered it in the contest at their school. It took a long time, designing it, baking it, putting it together, and then decorating. Kelti spent over 3 hours one afternoon putting candy and frosting on it. She has developed quite the talent for creating/baking things. She wants to learn how to do cake decorating.




Our poor Bella hurt her eye some how...we have no idea how! As a result she has a hole in her cornea. The vet patched the eyeball and sewed her second eyelid closed to protect it. We will find out tomorrow if this was successful. If her eye did not heal, she will lose her eye. It is very sad, but we are hoping for the best. Bella is really not impressed with wearing the cone around her head. We have been entertained at her expense!

my mom used to make wedding cakes for a side living. tons and tons of cakes, with tons of imagination went through our kitchen, much to our young fingers delight. Many a day i was punished for getting into moms cakes.
point being, we'll have to have kelti talk to my mom sometime. she could share all kinds of info on cake decorating.

Cute house! TJay wants us to make one from scratch. Maybe Kelti can give us tips. :) I know how to make flowers for cakes and some beginning decorating. We'll have to get together and have fun with it! :)

Sorry about Bella. Hope she's alright!
